Bridgestone Battle Wing BW501-E Front Motorcycle Tire 110/80R19 59V

The Bridgestone Battle Wing BW501-E Front Motorcycle Tire 110/80R19 59V is a radial front tire built for riders who spend most of their time on pavement but still venture off it occasionally. Bridgestone developed it with a high-grip compound and a revised profile aimed at improving handling response and the feel of the contact patch. The tread pattern is also designed to keep road noise down during longer hauls. It is manufactured in Japan.

The size code 110/80R19 tells you that the section width is 110 mm, the sidewall height is 80 percent of that width, and the tire mounts on a 19-inch rim. That rim diameter must match your wheel, and the full size code should match what is molded into the sidewall of the tire you are replacing. This tire carries a load index of 59 and a V speed rating, which covers speeds up to 149 mph (240 km/h). Your machine's specification determines which load index and speed rating are required. Bridgestone positions the BW501-E for 80 percent on-road and 20 percent off-road use, so it suits riders whose routes are mostly paved with occasional dirt or gravel.
